Poor Eyelid Closure (Lagophthalmos)

Some patients suffer from constant eye pain because they cannot completely close their eye (often called lagophthalmos). Eye discomfort is common when the eyelids cannot close and cause the cornea to become dry (often called exposure keratopathy).

Due to the complex anatomy of the face, is it important to see a surgeon who has completed extensive training to make sure you get the best possible result.

Dr. Neel Kumar completed years of training in order to specialize in treating eyelid conditions. We will work with you to develop a care plan based on your individual case and needs.
